Best Answer

PNP

  • Operates on minority charge carriers (holes).
  • Slower than NPN because holes are less mobile than electrons.
  • Slightly easier to manufacture than NPN.
  • More sensitive to high temperature due to thermal hole generation.
  • etc.

NPN

  • Operates on minority charge carriers (electrons).
  • Faster than PNP because electrons are more mobile than holes.
  • Slightly harder to manufacture than PNP.
  • Less sensitive to high temperature.
  • etc.

How do you make ujt with npn and pnp transistors?

You dont. A UJT is a much simple device than either of those BJT's Maybe you want to make a multivibrator out of BJT's?


Difference between bjt and ujt?

UJT is the voltage controlled device.in which only one mejority carriers are responsible for current flowing. UJT is one junction transistor and it is three terminal emitter and two base. BJT is the current controlled device. in which both mejority and minority carrier are responsiblefor current flowing. this type of transistor consists of two junction and three terminal these are : emitter , base , collector.


Can UJT replace BJT?

No. A unijunction transistor (UJT) is entirely different in design and application than a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The UJT works on the principle of voltage modulation of the effective substrate resistance, while the BJT works on the principle of current amplification from one junction to the other, usually base-emitter to collector-emitter.


What is the difference between the UJT and BJT transistors?

UJT (UniJunction Transistor): It is a transistor with only one junction and three terminals: an emitter (E) and two bases (B1 and B2). BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor): This type of transistor consists of two junctions and three terminals, namely Emitter "E", Base "B" and Collector"C". There are two types of BJT, i) PNP and ii) NPN.


What types of transistors are the following - BJT PCT UJT SBT FET GJT AJT DFT?

The BJT is the bipolar junction transistor, the PCT is the point contact transistor, the UJT is the uni-junction transistor, the SBT is the surface barrier transistor, the FET is the field effect transistor, the GJT is the grown-junction transistor, the AJT is the alloy-junction transistor, and the DFT is the drift field-junction transistor.


What is inter base resistance in UJT?

The bulk resistance between the two bases, which will be different for different types of UJT. Consult the datasheet for the value.


Is a UJT a voltage controlled or current controlled device?

voltageCurrent between the two bases of the UJT sets up a voltage gradient in the semiconductor. When the voltage on the emitter of the UJT rises high enough to forward bias the emitter-base junction at the voltage of the interbase gradient where the emitter is located, the UJT "turns on".

What is the difference between BJT and NPN transister?

Mainly there are two types of transistors. They are BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors) and FET(Field Effect Transisters). In BJT, there are two types called PNP and NPN. Actually NPN means a BJT transister.

What is the difference between fet and ujt?

The structure of a UJT is quite similar to that of an N-channel JFET. The main difference is that P-type (gate) material surrounds the N-type (channel) material in case of JFET and the gate surface of the JFET is much larger than emitter junction of UJT.
